Metacatalog is a management tool for a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database that is primarily used to store meta-data of environmental open data. While it can also store the data itself, it is more meant as a Meta-database that should rather interface the original data stores.
Metacatalog has three main submodules:
* the Database Models
* a Python API
* a CLI
The full documentation can be found at: [https://vforwater.github.io/metacatalog](https://vforwater.github.io/metacatalog).
This Version
0.1.13 is a small patch version to make a few last adaptions to the model, before the new migration system is made available.
The `Entry` now has a `citation` field and the API can find `Entry`, `EntryGroup` and `Keyword` by `uuid`.
Database migration
There are some problems with `alembic` as a database migration tool. As metacatalog needs only a fraction of that powerful package, we decided to include our own migration system, with limited functionality. However, `alembic` will be used until the new system is implemented.
